Current edition approved Aug. 1, 2014. Published November 2014. Originally approved in 1999. Last previous edition approved in 2009 as D6370 – 99 (2009). — 4 p.
This test method provides a thermogravimetric (TGA) technique to determine the amounts of organics (oil, polymer), carbon black and ash (filler) in a rubber compound.
The amount of plasticizer/oil may be determined separately using Test Method D297.
This test method utilizes previously calibrated, manual or computer assisted TGA instrumentation.
